Players give fans their due
As over 8,000 fans return to see Chelsea beat Leicester City by two second half goals
Two second half goals one each by Antonio Rudiger and Jorginho assured Chelsea to topple Leicester City 2-1 and a places behind the first two in the Premier League.
At the Stamford Bridge, here on late Wednesday night (IST), even though Super Frankie Lampard wasn't completely forgotten in the repertoire of songs, the stadium was finally able to serenade Thomas Tuchel and found so much to be appreciative of.
A year-long wait finally saw 8,000 Chelsea fans make the most of it as they dislodged Leicester from third place heading into the Premier League finale.
The fans saw why Chelsea, ruthlessly perhaps, fired Lampard in January and replaced the club legend with Tuchel.
"It was amazing and exactly what we want. Everybody who comes to the stadium to be happy and feel this energy from this team because this is what this team can always
deliver," the German manager said.
Oh, and there's also still a Champions League final to complete the season on May 29 against Manchester City.
It wasn't delivering under Lampard, who left the team five points from the top four. Chelsea will be certain of finishing in one of the four Champions League spots by beating Aston Villa on Sunday.
Chelsea had the better of the first-half chances, with Ben Chilwell firing across goal early on and Timo Werner having one goal disallowed for handball and another for offside.
Rudiger eventually broke the deadlock two minutes after the break, tucking the ball home after Chilwell's corner was deflected into his path.
The hosts were then awarded a penalty after a Video Assistant Referee review for a Wesley Fofana foul on Werner, which had originally been awarded as a free-kick. Jorginho sent Kasper Schmeichel the wrong way from 12 yards.
Manchester United's protesting fans were back inside Old Trafford, legally this time, and were treated to a wonder goal by Edinson Cavani in a 1-1 draw against already-relegated Fulham.
Spotting goalkeeper Alphonse Areola was off his line, Cavani - helped on by a flick from Bruno Fernandes, chipped the ball from about 50 yards (meters) into the net.
The United fans saw why the team needs more investment to strengthen itself by failing to hold onto the lead when Joe Bryan headed Fulham level.
Patrick Bamford scored his 16th goal of the season and Tyler Roberts rolled the ball into the net to give Leeds a 20 win over Southampton that clinches a top-half finish in its first season back in the Premier League since 2004.
